leng khiang bought 4pax dinner @ hoang hau, a restaurant he owns..with philip yeo & steven tay…on 24.6.2022.^^
https://goo.gl/maps/2jdetYNcW76bLQTL8
the lobster bun, a newly created dish, was the bestest! live boston lobster very fresh & nicely done, so sweet & tender..not rubbery..
the sauce quite unique, seems not the usual bun cha dip/drip sauce, nutty from brown butter & lobster tomalley..bun (beehoon) nicely infused..
salad was refreshing..
banh seo seafood pancake was very good too..one of the best I had ..with belly pork & prawn & veg filling..
the Vietnamese crisp roll with pork good too
the pho soup was tasty..as philip and steven commented & I concur, broth was very robust & quite a tad sweet..maybe a different preparation & nice in its own way too..but preference is a 清清lighter, natural meat sweetness broth with lots of herb…so lots of thai basil, some mint will be good…
love the Vietnamese coffee, siu siu tai….

delivered homecooked braised chicken with cloud fungus for teban gardens friday community breakfast on 24.6.2022.^^
this my 114th friday breakfast community meal dish at teban gardens community service centre, 5th time on restart after a 2 year hiatus due to covid.
the centre was started in 2002 after much effort & challenge by our RI friend who is a pastor of pasir panjang hill brethren church (pphbc) which owns & runs the CSC.
i first started doing a community meal dish for teban gardens CSC on 8.1.2016.
I started cook a dish for teban gardens on friday unless i am traveling or otherwise indisposed. when I started cooking for HCA, this was reduced to 2 times a month (also 2times a month for HCA) so not overstretching my resources…

had 3pax lunch with philip & leng khiang at my favourite chirashi don place Ishinomaki on 14.6.2022.^^
the premium chirashi don excellent here, S$39 lunch set inc chawanmushi, salad & miso soup. the alacarte dinner chirashi don basically same serving is S$60 standalone item…
there are about 15 cuts including uni, chutoro, hamachi, hirame, sawara, kajiki, salmon, majuro, ikura, tamago etc…only things missing are anago & botanebi (which Mikuni serves)..they should consider having these serving options and increase the price accordingly…
the sushi rice also very tasty…I take very little carbs..the rice serving is small..still sometime I asked for 1/2 rice serving.. usually I will still finish the rice…
